So i have a gaming desktop that not the best or the newest. What takes up most of my drive space is games, updates, and software's. Im wondering if i should switch to linux and if linux will improve any performance for my main machine? If you believe i should switch what os should i go with or why or why not should i switch?

I mostly game and do mess with ollama/ai tools because i think that's cool. I want to do more things in the future but that might beyond my drive space?

What would you advise?

Just dual boot.

They'd "just" have to do a lot of potentially hazardous work for a beginner, shrinking their Windows partition to make room for another partition.

Nah, VM is the way. Try it out, see what flies.
